Most reporters and editors are highly firearms-ignorant and wouldn't know what you're talking about. You could attach a pipe to a piece of wood, paint it black and tell them it's a machine gun, and they'd wet themselves while they wrote their "exclusive report on illegal arms manufacturing". Refer to the recent gun buy-back debacle where they gushed over the "rocket launchers" that were actually just empty launch tubes.

Wrong. A semi-auto is considered an assault rifle. That's why when states like CA ban assault rifles, you can't buy a semi-auto AK or similar rifles. It's called an assault rifle ban and it includes various semi-autos. The stupid thing is, they ban assault rifles like AK's and AR's, but you can still buy rifles like a Mini-14 or Mini-30 which fire the same rounds just as fast. Go figure.

It depends. Just because it is semi-auto doen not mean it is classified as an assault weapon. It has to meet certain criteria:
folding or telescoping stock
a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
a bayonet mount
a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor

And you don't know what you're talking about. A semi-auto AK or AR among several others are legally classified as assault rifles. Fully autos are illegal across the board no matter what. Semi-auto are legal or illegal depending on which scumbag is in office at the time.

Wrong i can go to any local gun shop and purchase what you ignorantly call an "ak" or "ar" here in ca, dont believe me? call your local cop station or turners outdoorsman and ask them, stop spreading your ignorance like facts.

True, but I offered it as my two cents because it's my opinion piece. I used it to point out that what you call something, based on petty semantic distinctions, is meaningless if the effect of the things you are describing is identical.
